I’m really sorry you’re going through such a rough experience. Ailing parents challenge us on deep levels, we often feel our survival is threatened and we behave in ways that can be harmful. Keep taking care of yourself.

She has texted me terrible things. Telling me I’m inadequate,, and undeserving of POA. Moreover ending the text telling me she does not like me and never did. But I wouldn’t care because I’m self centered. Anyway, I immediately blocked her number and have made plans to just be silent. It is the best way to kill a monster.

Lotty, nothing worth having comes without effort on our part. You’re doing the most important work of your life. Stay the course. I’m proud of you. So many just think about making changes. You’re one of the few who take action. <3

I’m going to great lengths to change learned behaviours from childhood and the more I have stepped away from negative behaviour, and have become away of my own negative thinking, the more opportunities have appeared. It’s been eye opening. Have even signed up for some counselling sessions to explore the core of everything. After reading this it has spurred me on to continue with this experience.
